Planetary Annihilation

Beta Build: 54696

Builds keep coming fast and furious, though we'll start to slow down a bit and do bigger, more infrequent builds again soon. But not until we're pretty happy with the overall stability and performance of everything.

Additional performance, stability and bug fixing

Mac OS/X Ati driver rendering bug - We finally have managed to track down, and fix, the driver bug causing this by working around it in our own rendering engine. This should fix rendering for a lot of people on Mac Book Pro's from 2011, and a number of iMac's from that same era.

Quite a few additional pathing fixes (There are still some unusual naval pathing issues we're investigating)

Linux: Included an Ubuntu 12.04 compat version of libstdc++.so.6 ; Should fix launching with Steam

WASD should now respect when you're chatting, and not try and move the camera

New art for sea energy plant, sea air defense, advanced radar sat

Solar Array can no longer do celestial moves; Currently, too exploitable so you always maintain a healthy chunk of energy economy with no actual risk

I dont agree with solararrays being non celestial, thats a bad play, you haveavenger units, i pay so much attention to the system view in battle to see if my enemy is going orbital, i have my orbital fleet ready and take out mostthere stuff anyway, that negation needs a serious balance, like avenger planes are planet bound too. which then renders them a secondary air unit not even orbital.

If anything make solar arrays nerfed a little interms of build cost and resultant income energy, the movement of them to planets is a fair move i think, you just have to be smart to combat it, people only moaning becaue they never played TA and are getting thrashed by not thinking what they are doing lol.

please dont leave solar array so immobile, its cost is too high for such risk imo

This game looks great my dad said he is getting me the week after this week i really like your games,i have looked at your livestreams (all of them) I had a idea you could put in(not forcing you or anything) like a space station what you have to build and if you get loads of recouses you can build a black hole,whih will destrot the whole entire solar system in a certian time and in that time you need to move to the last planet in the solar system and then lunch your comander to a diffret solar system (what you can also make like you did with your other solar system and you can decide the distance between them(could take ages to reach it though!) and restart in that solar system.

You Could also do galaxy collisions were you have to move galaxys But only one solar system in it.Right now i will whatch your new live streamand whatch people play it on youtube) price is so much better! oh and gongratulations on getting it onto beta!
